"The Amish thing was funny the first year or two, but something about seeing the same joke ten thousand times....well..."

Perhaps it's time to start blaming the Jains.

That isn't the half of it. The whole exhibit is a disgusting shrine to PC

It really is sickening. I have not been there since my visit. I do not see myself returning any time soon, if ever.

Update:
Police in Chester said an explosive device was found in an alley between residential homes and a set of train tracks yesterday.

Chester Police Chief Darren Alston described it as a gallon-size sports-drink container filled with gasoline. A timer was taped to the device, but it was not set.

Alston said city firefighters and the Delaware County bomb squad disabled the device and that authorities are investigating all scenarios, from juvenile prank to terrorism.

Sounds more like something for an arsonist than anything that could cause a derailment.

I’m also be wary of a Beslan style raid, but probably not ‘til this fall after the start of the new school year and the 10th anniversary of 9/11. The muzz will have all summer to plan for it while Napolitano falls back asleep and Holder returns to selling guns to drug cartels.

The usual find is a body. This community is ravaged by crime , drugs and murder. Could a Muslim group slide into Chester and make use of the youth? Indeed they could. Once the home of Ford Motors, Scott Paper, Baldt Anchor, Congoleum, and a rail car company. A place where Lee Iacocca got his start . The slogan used to be “What Chester makes, makes Chester great”
The city is now home to a huge Harrah’s Casino on the Delaware waterfront and a professional soccer team. The new stadium built on the waterfront is beautiful. Chester still
is a bad place these days.

This is probably just some local nutcase inspired by the news. Something tells me Al Qaeda would not be so obvious.

Fact that timer wasn’t set makes this look like a “warning”, but, again, there are plenty of unhinged people looking for their 15 minutes of fame in exchange for a lifetime in prison.

Public transportation and public places and large events — jihadis find those appetizing targets.

The democRATS kind of like 'em too. Just sayin'...

The cost of parking is ridiculous among other things.
I've seen Parking Wars. That was reason #2 not to go.
